The Woman Who Died a Lot
kaiser says:
A curate's bacon sandwich of a book to my mind but not to my knees and this is really 3.73 stars. As per the rest of the Thursday Next series, what Fforde has produced here is funny, clever and fast moving. However, this is the least bookish of the series, and perhaps thus my least favourite, though they're all dashed fine. Really a spot more Emperor Zhark would have helped matters no end. Bring on the sequel which will hopefully have more book world time in it.

so, yeah.... I will admit I found myself a tad bored with this one, totally whacked. A little confusing at first but I really got into the story towards the end. No book jumping, but the introduction of Day Players really made it interesting. Especially since Thursday's Day Players were there to help. Day Players are synthetic models of the human person they are portraying. Every time a Day Player is activated the human counter part goes into a sleep like coma. You retain all memories back and forth and for Thursday, she doesn't even know she's been switched until she notices things, like no limp, no pain, no tattoo. Aeronis is still messing with her and the mind worm, but then the mind worm gets passed around from family member to family member and the first time it happened I had to make sure I was reading it right. I have, all together, enjoyed the Next books. Great reads.MoreLess
